Zeebrugge to Tanny

We docked just before 9:30 but it was 10:55 before we cleared passport control and were on our way. A stop a services provided a early lunch / late breakfast. Kate's route would have taken us around the Paris outer ring road. We followed it to just past Lillie and then turned off towards Reims. We had a short stop for diesel and turned off the peage just before Troyes. The last 120 km were on minor roads. We stopped for Brexton cup of tea at a picnic spot before Auxerre. Kate's directions diverted us onto some minor roads. Louise kept a close eye on the route bit her intervention was not required and we arrived in Tannay at 18:48. Gerry and Chris we already at the boat having arrived by Auxerre by train at 1:40. They had been fully briefed and had cycled up the hill to the supermarket for provisions. The supermarket delivered the shopping along with Gerry, Chris and the bike's back to the boat!

We dined on the deck. A tasty chicken pasta meal washed down with a selection of wine.

The car was parked by the boat overnight and will be put in the secure parking in the morning.
